1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

This extension provides:

  1. A frontend plugin for displaying and adjusting ratings

  2. AJAX-based voting (extremely fast!)

  3. Highly customizable look for ratings (template and/or css file)

  4. Several image sets for ratings

  5. API for other extensions to integrate ratings into their records (for photos, news, articles, comments, etc)

  6. A set of hooks to popular extensions to enable rating functionality in them

The extension requires PHP 5.1 or newer. It will not work with PHP 5.0 or older version. There is no direct dependency on TYPO3 version but bugs are not accepted if TYPO3 version is older than current official major TYPO3 version (4.1 in January 2008).

This extension is brought to you by Netcreators BV – one of the leading TYPO3 companies in this world.
